Over time, I see several backup folders being created with names like "c0826fc9baf3af5bd". What are these folders? Do I need to keep them?

to my knowledge, only the internal storage of information. I see no need for any backup storage.

"appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Virtualized\c\Users\USERNAME\Documents" You have to copy them soon afterwards since that directory could be deleted.

Depends on the OS. If Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8, yes. If 8.1, no, but you can use File History/create image/backup in Windows 8.1. A smart user just spends the hour to do a fresh install though... Windows degenerates over time.

Yes. Each backup type (i.e., different drive) requires a different "script" and you can create as many scripts as you want. I backup to one internal drive and two external drives.

Disk Cleanup won't dump your temp files under your username. you need to have hidden files and folders turned off and got to C:\\ Users\<yourUserName>\AppData\Local\Temp. You can safely dump all the files in this directory Depending on how much you surf the web and open and close files you can have thousands of files here. Just an FYI My 120 GB drive only has 93 GB free with only windows and Office installed Windows 8 takes a lot of room.

They provide something called Seagate Dashboard which is like a menu. From there you can have the drive do backups as well as post every picture backed up also posted to Facebook.

The software is on a disc. I don't know about any "backup program" This is an Anti Virus program.

I had no problems with this issue. It would be a good idea to back up your files prior to installing.

I'm using it with Win 8.1 and no problem making backup files. Have not had to recover.

Yes, that's pretty much how I was seeing it... the only problem is that one day the SmartWare backup software screwed up when I logged in, and everything I had been backing up had vanished. I reformatted the drive, deleted SmartWare from my computer, and am now manually backing up at the end of the day, as I was before. I loved the instant backup function of the software, but I can't trust it now.

Each one has a little imprinted logo on them, but no serial number. When I pulled them up on the computer, it just shows up as No Name for the drive.

He means a backup of old messages. Some of the posts here make me think that it does not necessarily import messages from an old program. I'd try googling "import into outlook 2013" to see problems and possible solutions.

Hi D. Petitpas,I was wondering if anyone would ever reply to my post. I didn't know that these drives were shipped pre-formated and I don't think that it is listed in it's description here on Amazon. Thank you so very much for setting me straight!

Your only limit is the amount of memory your backup drive has. We have three computers, and we back all three up with the same Clickfree and the same backup drive.

You can setup folder shares and set security for those folders, not for individual files, as far as I know. Also need to setup users and groups to give security access. I am using it for backup so I don't have any of that setup, but I saw the settings while I was working on it.

I installed the Seagate Dashboard. I then scheduled it to backup all my stuff every night. You can see what is going on by opening it via "Computer" from your Start Menu on a PC, there it is along with your C drive....good luck. It works like a charm for me...
